ENS222 - TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGY 2023 What is Phylogeny? - ANS-The ancestral relationships of organisms. the discipline of phylogenetics is concerned with identifying evolutionary lineages (clades). this is done by identifying shared derived phenotypic and/or genetic characteristics. What are "Derived characteristics"? - ANS-Characteristics that have evolved (i.e are different from the ancestral condition). Phyolgenetics is also known as.. - ANS-Cladistics. Def...

Evolution Questions and Answers Already Passed Fossils provide clear evidence that evolution has occurred. True Embryos of many different vertebrates look much more similar than the adult organisms. True Early horses were about the size of a fox. True Darwin's comparison of DNA sequences provided strong evidence of evolution. False - scientists' Today's scientists compare the anatomy, embryos, and DNA of modern organisms to understand how they evolved. True Homologous structures are stru...
